Answer:
9.54 Kpa
Explanation:
Given :
Pheart = 13.3 * 10^3
Density of blood (ρ) = 1060 kg/m³
Difference in height of brain and heart in standing position = - 0.5
Difference in height of Brain a d heart in bending position = 0.4
g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
Blood pressure of brain in standing position:
Pheart + ρ*g(-0.5)
13.3 * 10^3 + 1060 * 10 * - 0.5
13300 - 5300 = 8000 pascal = 8Kpa
Blood pressure of brain in bending position:
Pheart + ρ*g(0.4)
13.3 10^3 + 1060 * 10 * 0.4
13300 + 4240 = 17540 Pa = 17.54 Kpa
17.54Kpa - 8Kpa
= 9.54 Kpa
